TDEU Heroes are people we don't get to see that much in the public eye. They are working long hours to help their teams behind the scenes and sometimes are dedicated even more than the players. If you know a Hero, send us a message, and tell us about your nominee!
Elisabeth Swarowski is the President of SWARCO Raiders Tirol, and has made miracles happen, not just for the team, but for football in Austria. Raiders have been a powerhouse for years, not just in Austria, but in Europe as well.
Talib Wise, a Hall of Famer who playerd for SWARCO Raiders shared his experience with Elisabeth.
"Well, the Swarovski family and the Swarco Raiders will always have a special place in my heart during my years of playing in Innsbruck. From the time I arrived there, I was treated like family. My first time meeting the Swarovski family was my first year in 2011. They invited all coaches and imports to their beautiful home in the mountains of Innsbruck. It was a welcoming dinner and introducing us to The Raiders officially.I have many stories about Elisabeth, but she is a true wonderful human being. She has a passion for football and this is why the Raiders exist. She takes time to make sure the program is going in the right direction.
So to my surprise, we had a big game in The Big 6 coming up, and my HC Shuan Fatah says to me, you know your mother can come over to watch a game. My eyes
lit up with excitement. My mother gets to travel overseas and see her son play for free. My mother was so excited and grateful when we met The Swarovski family. She was my good luck charm because we won that game and then the next year, they asked her to come again and we won this game as well.

Elisabeth, thank You for everything you do!
You are a true Hero!
